Abstract

We present a list of 32 leafy liverworts belonging to 16 families: Acrobolbaceae, Adelanthaceae, Balantiop­sidaceae, Blepharidophyllaceae, Cephaloziaceae, Frullaniaceae, Jungermanniaceae, Lepicoleaceae, Lepidolaenaceae, Lepidoziaceae, Lophocoleaceae, Lophoziaceae, Porellaceae, Radulaceae, Schistochilaceae and Trichocoleaceae. All have been collected in the humid-hyperhumid Andean-Patagonian mountain forests of the Subantartic biogeographic province of the S-SW of the Argentina (Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego provinces). Many of them are endemic or frequent in the Subantartic Domain, whereas others show a disjunct distribution in areas of the Austral and Neotropical Regions of Argentina. The taxonomy and nomenclature of the species are updated, and comments are included on bibliographical background, ecology and chorology of each taxon. Heterogemma pata­gonica and Hepatostolonophora abnormis are cited for the first time for the Argentinean bryoflora, and 10 provincial and 6 departmental new records are provided.
